The family of slain NBCUniversal executive Brian Russell Kaplon said Wednesday they think the Porter Ranch man who fatally shot him should serve prison time but even that would not bring them a sense of closure.
Businessman David Armstrong pleaded guilty Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the March 18 slaying.
Kaplon's family made their first extended comments Wednesday outside the San Fernando courthouse, following Armstrong's appearance.
They expressed anger and disappointment that Armstrong and his wife had "shown no remorse" and not apologized for what their lawyer had characterized as a "tragic accident."
They also refuted the suggestion that Kaplon and Armstrong were close friends and were critical of state law that allowed Armstrong to keep a "military-style" assault rifle at his home.
"The question for her [the judge] and for us is, what is my son's life worth?" said patriarch Joe Kaplon. "My son's not coming back and I cry about it every day."
